We present a detailed study of non-leptonic two-body decays of B mesons based on a generalized factorization hypothesis. We discuss the structure of non-factorizable corrections and present arguments in favour of a simple phenomenological description of their effects. To evaluate the relevant transition form factors in the factorized decay amplitudes, we use information extracted from semileptonic decays and incorporate constraints imposed by heavy-quark symmetry. We discuss tests of the factorization hypothesis and show how unknown decay constants may be determined from non-leptonic decays. In particular, we find f_{Ds}=(234+-25) MeV and f_{Ds*}=(271+-33) MeV.

  1. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

  2. Null Tests and Lepton Universality in $\Xi_{cc}$ Baryon Decays

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Doubly charmed baryon decays provide symmetry-protected null tests for nonfactorizable QCD and lepton-universality ratios sensitive to new physics at multi-TeV scales.

  3. New insights into the $b\rightarrow c \bar{u}q$ puzzle through Top-Bottom synergies

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Anomalies in b to c u-bar q transitions remain puzzling as proposed new physics scenarios involving SU(2) doublets are not significantly relaxed by collider dilution or factorization breakdown.

  4. QCD-factorization amplitudes from flavour symmetries: beyond the $SU(3)$ symmetric case

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A data-driven SU(3)-breaking analysis of B to PP decays yields QCD-factorization amplitudes that resemble dynamical predictions and require no enhanced annihilation terms.
